Tweetbot even better…update adds a bunch of new features

Tweetbot is probably the best iOS Twitter client currently available on the App Store. An impressive new update brings impressive new views, gestures and features, maximizing what you can do from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. It is especially impressive in the iPad..my test platform.

The list of additions to the already feature packed app is quite long and includes:

– New tweet detail view with inline conversations and replies (swipe right to left on a tweet for quick access)– New gesture in tweet detail to get back to the timeline quickly (swipe left to right)– New conversation view now contains both the conversation and replies (swipe left to right on a tweet for quick access)– Ability to email conversations or post a link to them via Storify when in the conversation view– Droplr Support– Video thumbnails now have a “play” icon to differentiate it from image thumbnails– Timeline sync bookmark icon is now an optional setting– Reorganized tweet drawer (last two buttons have gone through some options reorganization)– Added thumbnail support for Vimeo links– Higher res image uploads when on wifi– Hold down compose tweet button to quickly open last draft– Support for $stock links– Improved email format when sending tweets, DMs, or conversations as email– Arabic Localization

The Droplr integration works like all of the other media sharing services in Tweetbot’s account settings pane. Storify can be used to export a string of tweets for the world to see. Other changes..the tweet detail window has been improved with more details, like the ability to quickly see how many replies a tweet has collected. The conversation view has also been tweaked to show replies in a separated section of the window. Vimeo links in the timeline can now be viewed with preview thumbnails, like YouTube. Also, $stock tags can now be effectively used to track your favourite companies on Twitter.

The upgrade to version 2.3 is free at the App Store..if you don’t already own Tweetbot the download is $2.99.
